The Exorcist

The Exorcist is a classic and I guarantee if you’re watching a horror movie from back in the day, you will see nothing like it. The movie is a masterpiece that catches the viewer’s attention by making it feel as though you are there.

In the movie, there is a young girl named Reagan who, out of the blue, begins acting very strangely. There are extreme changes in her personality and mood, not to mention all of the unexplained things happening in the house.

Because Reagan’s mother is extremely worried about her, she takes her to numerous doctor’s in order to have random tests done on her to see exactly what is wrong. The doctor’s can’t seem to find a thing so they automatically assume that it’s some sort of psychological disorder. Because Reagan’s mother doesn’t believe this is so, she calls in a priest.

During the priest’s sessions with young Reagan, things begin to get more out of hand than ever. The young girl stabs herself with a crucifix, begins speaking in another language in a voice that is not her own, her eyes change into a demon-like state, and all of these effects seem completely real.

The exorcist is an amazing movie with a great cast. Linda Blair was only a young girl when she played Reagan, but she did an outstanding job to say the least. I would have scared myself so much that I’d have to give up the role. No matter what day and age we’re in, I believe that the Exorcist will remain a classic that everyone can watch without having to fast foward through the boring parts. The movie is well put together for the time that it was made.

This movie is one of those that will never be forgotten.
